Newsflash: Where to invest out of state?

I have $50K set aside to invest in real estate. As I live in LA, I’m looking to be a remote investor, looking at more affordable markets.I’m only interested in buy-and-hold properties for rental income (and appreciation, of course).I’m thinking the move might be to get two properties, around $125K each, and put 20% down on both properties, instead of just one.Looking for suggestions as to the markets I should be looking into, thoughts on turn-key investing, and any other advice you might have!Thank!
